I am working on something, but I wouldn't expect to get impartial consideration from a peer review.

It's clear that I don't yet understand DNA well enough to make an informed purchase, so I'm holding off on ordering any other DNA tests until after I get my Y-37 results.
If Y-37 proves my grandfather was actually my grandfather, then I don't need anything more. I can move on to other parts of the family tree. It's only if Y-37 shows what I suspect, that my real grandfather was someone else (or worse, that it shows nothing at all) that I'd need as many speculative matches as possible. If my suspicions are correct, my real grandfather was my grandfather's cousin. The cousin's father was unknown, so I'd have probably have a lot of sleuthing to do to make a connection. But depending on Y-37, it might not be necessary,
I'll know more after I get my Y-37 results. I mailed the swabs today.
Thanks everyone for your input. I appreciate it.Last edited by DigitalDragon; 18 June 2018, 04:13 PM.

Personally, I would agree with them that it isn't that beneficial to most people to do Family Finder if you've already done a transfer. Obviously there will be differing views on that and some people like investigating the smaller matches or at least knowing they're there.

It's now after 4:30pm Central, so the Father's Day sale has ended. There's no longer any urgency.
